Re: Client does not support authentication protocol requested by server; consider upgrading MySQL client

I have seen this error in PHP after upgrading my web server from MySql 4.0 to 4.1. To solve this problem, I had to set the database users to the password scheme used by older versions of MySql. Here is the syntax:

SET PASSWORD FOR 'your_user_name'@'localhost' = OLD_PASSWORD('your_password');

You will have to replace your_user_name and your_password and maybe localhost to match your requirements. Then, run it in the Query Browser or command line or ... on the 4.1 server.

Hope this helps.
